Guten Tag meine Damen und Herren,
Report from 10.9.818 A.S.
I commanded patrol duty in the Rheinland. Oberfeldwebel Koehler, Flieger Schmitz and reserve pilot Bommel were with me. I met Schmitz in New Berlin system. We were patrol wing 1. Koehler with pilot Bommel were wing 2. My wing took Dresden's space as first patrol area. Koehler had patrol in Frankfurt and Munich. In Dresden we checked Bautzen, Pirna and Leipzig stations. Everything was clear. I took our way back to the jump-gate, over Battleship Altenburg. Altenburg's scanners showed no hostile activity in the surrounding. We proceed to the jump-gate.
Oberfeldwebel Koehler reported everything in order in the Frankfurt system, and proceed to the Munich's space. In this time I was in the Omega 7 system. Somebody reported hostile activity somewhere near Freistadt base. Trade lane between Stuttgard ' Freistadt base was clear. When we were on the way to the Omega 3 jump-gate, scanners showed one hostile contact in 12k range. I flew more closely. Hans Eckhard,'¦ our old friend. Two WRF fighters were shooting him, but one of them was heavily damaged. He decided to flee instead of die there. The Second WRF fighter still in the fight with Eckhard. I asked him if he need support, but he disapproved. Flieger Schmitz reported everything's fine near the jump-gate. I had no more orders for this Flieger. Our patrol duty has been successful. I still there as backup fighter. 10 minutes later,'¦ WRF fighter had more nanobots, but his ship has been destroyed. I don't know how, but I think his hull got heavy damage by Eckhard's torpedo. Hans Eckhard took his nanobots. I powered my weapons and engaged him. Eckhard used his thruster and retract. I was following him to Omega 5 jump-hole. There he stopped.
Two Freelancers (NTF) came to me, and two minutes later came one GMG fighter. I ordered don't engage. I was talking with Eckhard. A moment later jumped out from the jump-hole one Corsair fighter. Now I had there one more hostile target. NTF pilots were very impatient, and I hate audience in this situations. I called Oberfeldwebel Keohler for backup. Better safe then sorry, he said. Somebody opened fire, and the fight has begun. I didnt see who started the fight, it happened really fast... I think the corsair could be the aggressor. I aimed my firing at Hans Eckhard. Eckhard was firing one NTF fighter. After few minutes, Eckhard engaged GMG fighter and. After 10 maybe 15 minutes had the corsair heavy damages. He was trying to escape, but his ship has been destroyed by NTF's missile. Now was Hans Eckhard alone against three fighters. Of course he didn't have any chance, and Eckhard sin't crazy. He jumped into the Omega 11 system and fled.
